Growth of M. extorquens strains. Growth of the wildtype M. extorquens strain and of the two recombinant M. extorquens strains on methanol (Phase 1, 0-68 h) and on methanol + 10-undecenoic acid (C11=) (Phase 2, 68 h-end). Addition of the mixture is indicated by the arrow. (â—†) wildtype strain, n = 3; (â– ) M. ex-pha C1 strain, n = 3; (â–²) M. ex-pha C2 strain, n = 2. The medium initially contained 1 vol% methanol. At 68 h, methanol and C11= were added to give a final concentration of 2 vol% and 0.2 vol% of methanol and C11=, respectively.
